Brian Cronin's Hemp Ice Cream

Editors' Picks

In support of Moscow Republican Rep. Tom Trail's drive to legalize hemp production in Idaho, Boise Democrat Rep. Brian Cronin took a trip down memory lane and the grocery aisle to show lawmakers that hemp is good for everything from drafting a declaration of independence and covering wagons to, yes, making ice cream. At a hearing for the proposal, which ultimately went up in smoke, Cronin produced a box of hemp "milk" available at Boise Co-Op in an effort to show how lame it is that you can buy hemp products but the plants themselves are illegal. Lame. Lame, indeed, dude.
